Rowan College at Burlington County will celebrate its transformation into the number one community college in the state and modern model of higher education with a series of free events from Aug. 29 to Oct. 21 to highlight its new campuses, amenities and offerings.

RCBC has created the ultimate full-service campus experience in Mount Laurel that includes a new state-of-the-art Student Success Center and Health Sciences Center, and a completely redesigned campus quad. The complete transformation, which includes improvements in every building, took less than two years to complete.

“Rowan College at Burlington County’s transformation is stunning and is a beautiful addition to our county that the entire community can be proud of,” said Burlington County Freeholder Director Bruce Garganio. “The Freeholder Board commends everyone involved in the campus’ transformation and creating this opportunity for our residents. Students in Burlington County can further their education and take advantage of these new state-of-the-art-facilities while paying the most affordable tuition in the State. I encourage everyone to come see the amazing changes at Rowan College at Burlington County.”

“The new Rowan College at Burlington County Mount Laurel Campus rivals those at any four-year university across the nation,” said RCBC President Paul Drayton. “The Campus offers a modernized, student-centered experience that will better serve the entire college community and we are excited to share our progress with the entire community we serve.”

In addition to the Mount Laurel Campus transformation, RCBC made improvements to its Mount Holly Campus, Willingboro Campus and Joint Base Campus.

The Mount Holly Campus is becoming a cultural hub for the historic downtown area. The college is moving the student art gallery to the front of the building and several of its fine art programs to the facility to be with the college’s culinary program.

The Willingboro and Joint Base campuses now feature a new Classroom to Career model that better serves adult learners and makes it easier for them to earn degrees in growing careers.

RCBC is inviting the community to the Celebration of Transformation events to experience the exciting changes on its growing college campuses. All events are free and open to the public:
